About our bath repair in Duporth
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Duporth. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What we’re called out for in Duporth
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Duporth
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Duporth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Duporth customers choose us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
